As I am entering the third growing season here in the West Central mountains of Idaho, my interest in nutrition has really been focused on learning the art and science of growing food. There is much to learn, lots of trial and error, and dealing with the brutalities of nature.

I put together the following pictorial/book-review-ish presentation to satisfy a requirement for CEU hours for the NTA. (It was not accepted in this format, but I thought it was much more entertaining and informative than mere paragraphs…) So I will share it here for whoever might be interested in the progress of the first two years.
